as against this city, the rate from Kansas City
to Chicago being sS5 per carload, against $3.50
TO this city, although the distance to Chicago is
twenty-five miles further, Mr.. Dorsey further
states that while he meyer had any difficulty at
Chicago or St. Louis in getting free transporta-
ton back for his hired man. be- finds he cannot
dot here. The determinations in favor OF
Chicago are such that no says he would be
willing TO take ths dife-saco for his profit all
the time. YET. he says, this is really a better
market than Chicago <or the kind Of cattle he
handles and the indianapolis Union stock
yGrds are equal to sny in the country. He
would Ike to send fifteen 20 twenty carloads of
cattle week to this market If these discrim-
nations removed and ne cannot under
STANG why they should be permitted to exist.

AN ANDovER WoMAN-This story
Is told of the wife of an eminent ben
eflctor Of the town, those residence
was on the HILL, One day while the
lady was in the midst of preparations
for the midday meal (this was in the
olden time when people got up in the
morning and had dinner at the proper
time) caller was announced. Hasti-
ly leaving the kitchen where she was
overseeing operations she entered the
next room where the visitor Was. The
door between the two was open, aud
pretty soon the lady broke off the
conversation and called TO the help,
in the kitchen:
Nancy, does the kettle boil ?
No, IN am.
Then the conversation was renewed,
to b. broken again in a few minutes
by the inquiry;
Nancy, does the kettle boil?'
No, m am.
Then take the pine stick in the
corner and put it on the fire. This
was presumably done, for shortly az
ter, when IN am repeated her ques-
tion:
Nancy. does the kettle boiI?''
Yes, IN am, was the answer.
Then take off the pine stick aul

TINE MYSTlFlED DARKlEs.

In 1877 one Black, mulatto clergy
man, lost overheard a bag OF tools
while sailing up Spruce Creek, a tri-
butary of the Halifax river in Florida.
Among the blacks, this man Black
was an important person. He preached
with great JUNCTION, collected hatful
Of change once a week, did an occa-
sional job of carpentering, and was
the only negro on the Eastern cost Of
Florida south of st. Augustine owning
a white shirt.
The loss of his tools was a serious
misfortune. He could not give them
up without endeavoring to recover
them, so a reward of one dollar was
offered for their return. The news
spread among The settlernentsyand Ties'
groes hocked to the Shore of Spruce
Greek. They stripped, and began to
dive for the lost articles. The water

that the chances were against them,
all but one gave up the search. This
one was a good swimmer known as
Ephraim.
The plucky fellow spent several
hours in the water, out he finally
caught cramp and was drowned
before his comrades could rescue him.
The recovered the body and were
about to bury it near the beach, when
the circumstances came to the ears OF
Justice Sutton. In Florida the duties
Of Coroners devolve upon Justices OF
the Peace at the rate of ten dollars
per corpse. Justice Sutton went for
his ten dollars with the vim of a
Twelfth Ward politician. He ordered
an inquest. Material for jury was
under his nose, and he utilized it.
After the corpse was dragged under
the palmettoes Ephraim's black com
rades were impanneled. 1t was an
odd Jury. One was without shirt,
another without a coat, third desti
tute of hat, and fourth minus halt
of his pantaloons. There was not a
pair OF suspenders in the whole party.
Three wore cowhide brogaas without
stockings; the others We're barefoot
All were greatly alarmed at the action
of the Justice. They loudly pro-
claimed their innocence, and begged
to be let off.
Compose yourselves, gentlemen,
said Mr.. Sutton. "You are not pris-
oners. but American citizens called
upon to fulfil duty which you ow:
